Weeping trait can be inherited, but it's a misrepresentation to sell any seeds as the parent plant, which happens often on eBay, unfortunately. If you really want a 'Pendulum', you should purchase one from a reputable nursery, as you'll be buying a clone of exactly what you want, not a possibility from a seed.

Wouldn't a seedling that inherited the weeping trait be basically lying on its side pretty much right away?

Which one would you think was the weeping one?

This is supposed to be a regular giant sequoia but looks more pendulous.....

It will take time to tell, and honestly, I doubt any will show the trait, but no reason not to be hopeful, and growing a tree from seed is always a good endevour. There are different levels of apical dominance in different weepers, where some would grow straight along the ground without training, others slowly swoop this way and that, but generally head upwards, while still others grow straight as an arrow, with weeping side branches.

It appears as if a few of the seeds advertised as "weeping sequoia seeds" are growing in a more weeping/pendulous manner than the others. I will snap a few pics when I get home from work. They are all only a few inches tall at this point so it is still hard to tell.....

One on the left seems like it is growing more outward and possibly pendulous...

I'm Considering buying some of these seeds, have you any updates for me 2 years later - are they growing true to form??

None ended up with a weeping habit...

Darn it
